How do you create mailto link in datagrid with email address field but show the user's name?

Asked by audExpert in Miscellaneous Web Development, Programming for ASP.NET

How do you create a datagrid with a hyperlink field which: uses a users email address field to create the mailto link but shows the user's name as the link's clickable text?  I've scoured the web and find examples of how to create a link with the same field you display but nothing like I've described.  What I get is the hyperlink field with just the name but the link doesn't work.  Please advise or provide a WORKING example.  Thanks.

         <Columns>                     
             <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="Email" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="mailto:{0}"
                 DataTextField="Name" HeaderText="Name" Text="Name" />
             <asp:BoundField DataField="Division" HeaderText="Division" SortExpression="Division" />       
             <asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="Title" />
             <asp:BoundField DataField="Phone" HeaderText="Phone" SortExpression="Phone" >
                 <ItemStyle Width="110px" />
             </asp:BoundField>
        </Columns>     
             Font-Size="8pt" />
    </asp:GridView>
